PAES Sardegna EN ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN (ISEAP) The ISLAND of Sardinia APRIL 2012 ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN THE ISLAND OF SARDINIA Executive Summary Background ISEAP in Regional Planning The Island Sustainable Energy Action Plan (ISEAP) is part of the broader context of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia planning and direction. It is an instrument of support for both the assessment of climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions and the identification of all potentially more effective actions for achieving EU emissions reduction targets of 20% by 2020 compared to 2005 levels. The Island Sustainable Energy Action Plan development is one of the operational tools developed by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, representative of the strong political commitment to determine and support sustainable development. Moreover this activity integrate itself into ongoing actions promoted by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, directed to develop methods and models for the organic and coordinated development of its own territory energy system. In this context, the Regional Council has approved and formally launched the program "Sardinia CO2.0", in April 2010, with the strategic aim to activate a set of integrated and coordinated actions designed to progressively reduce CO2 emissions, with the aim to make the final budget of the climate-altering emissions tend to zero. Amongst energy planning tools Sardinia Region has promoted the establishment of a new draft Energy and Environmental Plan (PEARS) and the Reference Document on renewable energy sources, in December 2010, with the explicit intention to define the contribution of the Island to achieve the objectives set by the European Union in 202. By Resolution of the Regional Council n. 12/21 of 20.03.2012, as a result of consultation with the Government and Italian Regions, the Reference Document on renewable energy sources has been approved in order to implement the contents of the Decree Burden Sharing, where addresses, scenarios and strategies for the achievement of units of renewable assigned to the Region are defined. This document is therefore the basis on which the ISEAP is based. Also as part of the "Sardinia CO2.0", the Region of Sardinia starts formally and approves the project "Smart City - Municipalities in class A", April 2011. The aim of the project is to realize integrated projects consistent with the planning ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN THE ISLAND OF SARDINIA methodology of the "Covenant of Mayors", aimed at reducing CO2 emissions at the local level. The main regional planning instruments in the energy sector are completed by formal adherence by the Region of Sardinia to the European program "Covenant of Mayors" and the European project "The Pact of Islands", April 2011. The EU project "The Pact of Islands" directly involves the Region of Sardinia to the achievement of 20 - 20 - 20 by 2020. A commitment signed by the President of the Region of Sardinia in Brussels on April 12 2011, in line with the already strategic approved plans and in line with the European Union. Guidelines of the ISEAP Sardinia The Sustainable Energy Plan of the Region of Sardinia is a living document that, in accordance with the strategic objectives, takes into account the necessary adjustments on the basis of the actions monitoring of the same plan. A need, however, not only due to market developments and technological innovations but also to the complexity and size of the island energy system. The Region of Sardinia, together with the choice of NO to nuclear power, attested by the results of the referendum of 2011, promoted the commitment to proceed technological modernization of the island energy system. A process contained in the acts of the regional planning having as interest and overriding objective the economic and social development, together with that of the protection and improvement of environmental quality. The essential guidelines that form the basis of the ISEAP are summarized as follows: - The commitment of the European Action Plan objectives, 20-20 - 20, and the respect and improvement of the targets set by the National Action Plan for the region, through the Decree MISE, in March 2012, the so-called "Burden sharing". In this context, in addition to measures for savings, energy efficiency and development of renewable energy, ISEAP Sardinia takes as its essential elements, but not limited to: a)The use of natural gas as an essential strategic choice in terms of energy, environment and economy for Sardinia. It is not possible to achieve the objectives set by the EU and the national system, and it is also not ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN THE ISLAND OF SARDINIA possible to keep up with the other European countries (enterprise development, economy, social system, quality of the environment) without the contribution of methane in various sectors. While, on the one hand the Region of Sardinia is called, and it is committed to achieving the European and national objectives in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy development, on the other hand the National and European system has to respect the commitment taken in various locations and over time, for the island methanization. In this framework methane use is foreseen in the industrial, civil, transport sectors and in the production of electricity, with particular reference to the generation sites in northern Sardinia. Methane supply will take place in the most appropriate ways, through the international project GALSI, or the national variant Piombino - Olbia or methane boats. b)The use of coal from Sulcis, also considered a strategic and essential choice for promoting the mix of energy sources and the security of energy supply, in particular by reference to new technologies for efficient use of raw materials. In this context it is planned the construction of a new power plant capacity of approximately 350/400 MW and the creation of an innovative capture and CO2 (Carbon Capture and Storage CCS), the latter also as a result of an analysis technical and economic analysis; c) The confirmation of the strategic importance of the current industrial poles and all current electric generation sites, including those that currently host reserve technique plants in the production of electricity. In this context, ISEAP Sardinia includes measures to modernize its energy in the system of transport infrastructure and port systems; d) Particular attention has been paid in respect of environmental more fragile and valuable systems of the island of Sardinia, with specific reference to the smaller islands (La Maddalena, S.Antioco - St. Pietro, Asinara), park areas and marine areas protected. For these systems in particular, ISEAP plans to achieve the goal of energy self-sufficiency from renewable sources, sustainable mobility plans, use of bio-fuels and a strong commitment to the involvement of the people of the territory. Objective: innovation, energy, environmental quality, employment . ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN THE ISLAND OF SARDINIA The results of the ISEAP Sardinia show that it is possible to reach and go beyond the objectives set by the European and national Action Plans, and simultaneously improve the regional system. In short the results obtained in 2020 are: • CO2 emissions - 22,31% • Renewable energies 21,48% • Bio-fuels in transport sector 7,00% • Energy saving on inland gross consumption 19,73% • Energy efficiency of the energy system 8,63% These data are the results of a series of actions already taken by the Region of Sardinia and largely completed by 2020, they are broken down by sectors (industrial, residential, commercial, agriculture, transport, popular participation) and all included in the ISEAP. The process of identifying priority actions according to the criterion of "bankable" projects and actions will continue after the formal approval of the ISEAP, taking into account not only the complexity and size of the projects and actions, but also the need for further involvement of all Sardinia’realities. Feasibility studies and project sheets will be attached to the document of the ISEAP, transmitted to regional, national and European level and will be part of the monitoring activities required by this project. The commitment of the region of Sardinia in joining the European Project Pact of Islands and the implementation of the ISEAP, is combined with a commitment to enhance the insular region system in the broader context of European islands. In this direction Sardinia has worked to give continuity to the same program Pact of Islands and favoured, along with other European partners of the project, the approval of the Declaration of the European Parliament for the program to become official initiative of the European Union (19 January 2012); the Region of Sardinia has also promoted, as President of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR), the direct involvement of the President of the European Commission in order to give specific continuity to the project Pact of Islands as part of Europe's energy policies. ISLAND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN THE ISLAND OF SARDINIA The commitment of the Region of Sardinia also exists in the identification of the ISEAP as a technical document aimed at achieving, by 2020, the objectives of the Region in the field of energy efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions, and therefore it is a instrument whose actions are integral and essential part of the Regional Environmental Energy Regional of Sardinia (EERP-S) and the same ambitious project "CO2 Sardinia" (Del. GR. No. 33/17 of 10.08.2011). Introduction The Sustainable Energy Action Plan (ISEAP) of Sardinia is made in the frame work of the European Project “The Pact of Islands” with the intent to go beyond the objectives set by the European Union in the year 2020, with particular reference to reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The year 2005 has been identified as the year of reference on which calculating the amount of 20% of carbon dioxide emissions to be reduced by the year 2020 (Baseline Emission Inventory).

About 100 families of Sardinian farmers and Genoese fishermen who lived on Asinara were obliged to move to Sardinia, where they founded the village of Stintino. Asino dell’Asinara (Asinara Donkey) Origins: - Uncertain but oral records report the presence of white donkeys on the island since the end of XIX century. - the appearance of the white coat in more recent times is probably due to a random mutation that spread to all the population. Morphology: it is small and the size is similar to the Sardinian donkey; the most important difference is the white coat, that probably belongs to a form of incomplete albinism .

  • Tonnare in Italy: Science, History, and Culture of Sardinian Tuna Fishing 1
    Tonnare in Italy: Science, History, and Culture of Sardinian Tuna Fishing 1 Katherine Emery The Mediterranean Sea and, in particular, the cristallina waters of Sardinia are confronting a paradox of marine preservation. On the one hand, Italian coastal resources are prized nationally and internationally for their natural beauty as well as economic and recreational uses. On the other hand, deep-seated Italian cultural values and traditions, such as the desire for high-quality fresh fish in local cuisines and the continuity of ancient fishing communities, as well as the demands of tourist and real-estate industries, are contributing to the destruction of marine ecosystems. The synthesis presented here offers a unique perspective combining historical, scientific, and cultural factors important to one Sardinian tonnara in the context of the larger global debate about Atlantic bluefin tuna conservation. This article is divided into four main sections, commencing with contextual background about the Mediterranean Sea and the culture, history, and economics of fish and fishing. Second, it explores as a case study Sardinian fishing culture and its tonnare , including their history, organization, customs, regulations, and traditional fishing method. Third, relevant science pertaining to these fisheries’ issues is reviewed. Lastly, the article considers the future of Italian tonnare and marine conservation options. Fish and fishing in the Mediterranean and Italy The word ‘Mediterranean’ stems from the Latin words medius [middle] and terra [land, earth]: middle of the earth. 2 Ancient Romans referred to it as “ Mare nostrum ” or “our sea”: “the territory of or under the control of the European Mediterranean countries, especially Italy.” 3 Today, the Mediterranean Sea is still an important mutually used resource integral to littoral and inland states’ cultures and trade.

  • Da Flotta Sarda a Fallimento,Fondi Regionali Per I Marittimi Saremar
    26 Settembre 2021 - Onorato in aiuto marittimi Saremar MILANO – Abbiamo una sola parola, e questa è “aiutare i marittimi italiani a trovare imbarco”. Così il gruppo Onorato ha deciso di rispondere alla crisi di Saremar, invitando tutti i marittimi dell’ex società di proprietà della Regione Sardegna, a inviare i loro curricula agli uffici del personale del gruppo Onorato e quindi a Moby, Tirrenia e Toremar. Ogni singola posizione e qualifica professionale – afferma una nota del gruppo Onorato – sarà valutata, presa in considerazione e messa in diretta relazione con la domanda di figure professionali da parte delle compagnie del gruppo sulle varie rotte da queste esercitate. “Crediamo sia un nostro dovere civico parlare con i fatti – sottolinea un https://www.messaggeromarittimo.it/tag/saremar/ | 26 Settembre 2021 - 26 Settembre 2021 - portavoce del gruppo Onorato – e intervenire in questi casi tentando non di innescare polemiche bensì di trovare soluzioni pratiche non certo facili in un momento così complesso, ma certo più percorribili anche a fronte di una disponibilità e flessibilità operativa dei lavoratori marittimi”. Saremar: da Flotta sarda a fallimento CAGLIARI – Era il 15 Giugno 2011: la prima nave della Regione Sardegna marchiata con i Quattro Mori e la scritta Saremar affittata con nolo armato, la “Scintu”, salpa dal porto di Civitavecchia per raggiungere Golfo Aranci. Qualche giorno più tardi, il 22 Giugno, un altro traghetto, “Dimonios”, avrebbe assicurato il collegamento tra Vado Ligure e Porto Torres. Nasceva così la Flotta sarda, una sperimentazione, anche legislativa, prima bocciata dalla Commissione europea e oggi affossata definitivamente dal Tribunale dell’Ue che ha confermato l’ipotesi di aiuto di Stato, ribadendo la necessità di recuperare i 10,8 milioni spesi dalla Regione quale contributo all’iniziativa.
